Thanks to the rise of social media and online influencers over the past decade, independent filmmakers have made great progress in the funding, creation and distribution of movies. Three people on the forefront of this evolution are Hollywood producers and dealmakers, Billie Greif, Benjamin Friedberg, Roger Goff and Blake Boyd. They recently sat down with VizSense and attendees of the 2016 National Association of Broadcaster’s Show in Las Vegas to share their insight into what the big studios can learn from the independents, how online influencers have changed the face of the independent film industry and what’s next on the horizon for the movie industry.

On this 46th anniversary of Earth Day, one marking the signing of the historic Paris Agreement, VizSense tracked social media conversation and sharing around the promoter and coordinator of the Earth Day movement worldwide, The Earth Day Network, in the seven days leading up to Earth Day 2016.

VIzSense is thrilled to announce that they’ll be presenting a panel discussion featuring four of Hollywood’s most respected film industry veterans as part of a panel featured at the 2016 National Association of Broadcasters Show on April 19, 2016 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Have you ever heard this quote?

"Asking the right questions takes as much skill as giving the right answers."

-Robert Half

I’m sure you have, and there’s a good reason why: The quality of the questions asked is sometimes the least recognized, yet most critical aspect of any strategic business discussion. And yet, in a fast moving, solutions-oriented world, it can be easy to not invest enough time into asking the right questions.

One of the most critical predictors of a successful client-agency partnership is how effective you are at asking the right questions. When contracts, profitability and more are at-play, asking the right questions from the beginning can mean the difference between a successful or failed product, keeping or losing your job or, at a minimum, hard feelings.

The short list that follows provides a good starting point and may spur additional ideas for those of you in the throes of an influencer marketing agency search right now.
